Question

Jessica has some markers. She has 5 more black markers than blue markers. She has 4 times as many red markers as black markers. She has 8 blue markers. How many markers does Jessica have altogether? asap 60 points

Answer 1

73 markers

Explanation:

let b = blue markers

black markers = b+5

red markers = 4* black markers

= 4 * (b+5)

= 4b+20

The total markers is blue + black + red

b + b+5 + 4b+20 = 6b+25

We know she has 8 blue markers

black markers = b+5 = 8+5 = 13

red markers = 4b +20 = 4*8 +20 = 32+20 = 52

The total markers =6b+25= 6(8) + 25 = 48+25 = 73
